Falcons pursuing trade of Vick
Who would make a move for him seeing as how it's a near certainty Goodell suspends him at least one full season anyway? 
The Falcons are actively seeking to trade Michael Vick.
Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team is preparing to trade the rights to the imprisoned and suspended quarterback, according to the team’s website.
“With regards to Michael Vick, we’ve decided to seek a trade of his contractual rights to another NFL club,” Dimitroff said. “We took a number of steps in the 2008 season, including using our first pick to draft a quarterback. We feel a trade is the best move for the Falcons, and it’s also in the best interest of Michael. This has been a really unique situation from a variety of standpoints and because we will actively be involved in a trade situation, I don’t envision our organization speaking any more about this subject publicly until it’s reached a resolution.”
The Falcons refused to make Dimitroff available Friday and calls to Dimitroff were not returned. When reached by the Journal-Constitution, Vick’s agent Joel Segal refused comment on the situation.
Falconsowner Arthur Blank has said that Vick was not part of the team’s future. However, Dimitroff’s comments were the first indication that the Falcons were actively seeking to trade Vick.
Vick is currently in federal prison on felony charges related to dogfighting and is scheduled to be released in July. He has also been indefinitely suspended by the NFL. The league has refused to address his situation until his release. Dimitroff said on the website that he had not heard from the NFL about a timeline for Vick’s reinstatement.
